Limitless Experiences

Just a little about Little Boxes Theater…

We warmly invite you to Little Boxes! We have been referred to as a ‘Renegade Theater’ and told we are ‘Old San Francisco’. Often guests compare us to their favorite Brooklyn or Berlin style Art lofts. We are a ‘living room’ style artistic community space; we are your home away from home. We aim to make you to feel comfortable here exploring creative expressions and expanding the limitless visions of your imagination & reality.

1661 Tennessee Street, Suite #2s, San Francisco, CA, 94107.

This unique hidden gem is located in San Francisco’s newest up & coming artistic industrial neighborhood Dogpatch.

Commuting? By car we are very close to both the 280 and the 101 freeways off ramps.

SPECS: The space is 2600sqft & features a huge 1300sqt sprung dance floors covered with new Marley flooring, which is Black/White reversible. We kindly ask there to be no street shoes, tap shoes, stiletto heels, chewing gum, oils, lotions, or excessive rosin usage. The Marley is expensive to acquire & to maintain. We aim to keep it clean for all our guests! **If you don’t need and/or want Marley; we have a grey painted wood floor underneath. Please let us know in advance if you need street shoes for an event or production, as there’s a re-taping fee $100+ & it takes a few hours of time to attend to this matter.

Our west facing wall of windows lets the natural light in all day & in the afternoon it streams beautifully across the walls. The sunsets here are incredible. There are curtains to cover the windows if you require the space to be blacked out during the daytime.

The studio mirrors span 30ft by 8ft and there are curtains to cover the mirrors.

The theater lighting includes a set of 6 par cans (with optional colored gels) which are connected to a dimmer pack & light board.

SOUND: The sound system is ‘plug & play’ style; an easy to use 8 channel mixer with an AUX audio out cord that works for most laptops/phones/devices. It’s attached 2 self powered JBL speakers. There a cordless & a corded microphone with one mic stand.

Our donated vintage upright piano which has been loved, it still mostly works minus a couple of keys at the present moment.
